@me Just wait until Telegram pulls a Gab and starts banning servers they don't like.
@freeschool -- radical unschooler here. 👋🤠 I'm definitely vibing with what you're saying here.
We've found that helping cultivate the courage to handle difficult things, as well as nurturing joy and ease whenever possible, helps create that balance. :)
@PurpCat Just be a DoorDash driver and work whenever you want.
@Mr_NutterButter I only plan on having three disposable items that you can purchase.
@sapphire I keep on hearing that the founder is partnered with the WEF, which is why I suggested XMPP instead.
Wow! I didn't expect many Poast users to boost this post, given that a lot of them have Telescam IDs in their bios.
@me We just need at least one public XMPP server that is user friendly and allows users to host MUCs, as well as being free-speech friendly. Not everyone needs to host their own servers, but enough people.
@allison @affine @straw @kirby @mischievoustomato Does anyone else feel like this whole "defed culture" is just a psyop by big-tech to make decentralized networks broken and unusable?
@kirby @straw @allison @mischievoustomato That's why 90% of it's users use the main server. It's just the mastodon.social situation all over again.
@SAKURARadiochan @allison *fell for it
@SAKURARadiochan @allison Telegram is for tech-illiterate right-wingers who only feel for it because their favorite podcaster uses it.
I'm a little late to this, but I feel the need to mention it because I feel like these people are just going to move to Telegram, if they already haven't.
Telegram is NOT a better alternative to Discord. It asks for your phone number (huge red flag), lies about being end-to-end encrypted (encryption is done server-side), is centralized, and not entirely FOSS (server-side software is closed source). Look into decentralized/self-hosted solutions instead.
I personally recommend hosting an XMPP server. Install an XMPP server stack that supports multi-user-chats and host your discussions there. With XMPP, you can sign up for an account on any server and talk to anyone, including people from other servers. There are even modernized web-clients like Movim which make it more user friendly.
For private/direct messages, you can also end-to-end encrypt them using OMEMO. Just don't use them for public MUCs or you will end up having problems. You really don't need to encrypt a public chat anyway.
If you need help running an XMPP server, Mental Outlaw made a video on it.

Really, even an IRC channel or an AJAX webchat/shoutbox is better than Discord or Telegram.

@beardalaxy @graf You can now upload more than 3 screenshots. Previously, the game table in the database had 3 columns for screenshots. Now, screenshots are in their own table.
